Collision Avoidance System (CAS) Deployment
Optec partnered with a tier-one mining operator to support the deployment of Collision Avoidance System (CAS) technology across a large, multi-site vehicle fleet. The program focused on improving safety outcomes and achieving consistent CAS performance through a standardised installation and commissioning approach.
Engagement Scope
Optec supplied specialist field-based capability to support a fleet-wide CAS rollout, including:
Field Service Technician
Automotive Electrician
All personnel were mobilised with site-ready experience and aligned to operational safety and compliance requirements.
The Challenge
The operator required a coordinated rollout of CAS technology across multiple locations and vehicle types. The environment demanded:
Consistent installation and configuration standards
Minimal disruption to production and maintenance schedules
Compatibility with vehicle electrical systems and site communications networks
Reliable commissioning and validation to meet OEM and site expectations
The scale of the fleet and live operational constraints meant delivery quality and workforce discipline were critical.
Optec’s Approach
Optec delivered an embedded, multi-skilled field service model focused on safety, quality, and repeatability. This approach enabled:
Standardised installation, calibration, and documentation practices
Reduced rework and controlled downtime across a large active fleet
Disciplined commissioning workflows aligned to vendor requirements
A delivery model capable of scaling across sites and future programs
Outcomes Delivered
Through the mobilisation of experienced field personnel, Optec supported end-to-end delivery activities, including:
Hardware fitouts, wiring, and antenna alignment
Integration with vehicle networks and onboard systems
Validation of communications pathways, including radio and wireless networks
Functional testing aligned to OEM CAS standards
Structured service coverage across multiple regional operating centres
The engagement improved consistency of CAS behaviour across the fleet while maintaining operational continuity.
Long-Term Value
This deployment established scalable capability in fleet safety systems and multi-site technology rollouts. It reinforced Optec’s position as a trusted delivery partner for mining operators undertaking programs involving vehicle technology, safety systems, and broader digital transformation initiatives.
